What Does UCMR Stand For?

UCMR stands for Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation

The Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR) is a regulatory framework established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to collect data on contaminants that are not currently regulated but may potentially impact public health and the environment. UCMR aims to identify and assess the occurrence and concentration of these substances in drinking water systems, thereby informing future regulatory decisions and ensuring safe drinking water for consumers. The program is part of the EPA's efforts to enhance water quality and public health protection.
